Release Notes:
--------
Greg Camp, guitarist and Grammy nominated songwriter has stepped out of the
SmashMouth fold after 10 years. Having penned most of the pop outfitÆs
multiplatinum hits, Camp has decided to take this step in an effort to further
explore the hidden corners of his overactive pop muse.
The result to date is Defektor, a silky, 14-song masterpiece, and CampÆs first
full length solo effort. The album will be released on September 9th on
Bar/None, the undeniable outpost of embraceable and offbeat sonic confections.
Defektor boasts songs about sticky-fingered hotel maids, unpredictable
ex-lovers, the end of the world and strung-out super models and plays like a
guided tour through CampÆs diverse musical imagination. The album was written,
recorded and mixed in CampÆs new recording studio Seavolt Sound, where left to
his own devices, he ditched all ballast and chased countless ideas down rabbit
holes. He emerged from the studio with a healthy handful of shiny new songs,
spanning influences from 60Æs pop, surf, garage, spaghetti western soundtracks,
rock æn roll, new wave, and funk.
Greg Camp is one of those talented musical wizards that captures lightening in
the whiskey jar. He fears no genre. He can turn any style on its head and make
it new. And somehow it always has the indelible stamp of a first rate
songwriting that evokes Costello and Nick Lowe one minute, the Specials and
Madness another, or maybe the Gorillaz colliding with the trippy west coast
musings of Alan Wattsà an artist that thinks before he leaps and ends up at the
center of the moment. Whewà
CampÆs songs have become intrinsically woven into the soundtracks and psyches of
both the young and old, but with Defektor, itÆs plain to see that he is still an
untapped wellspring, and weÆll be hearing a lot more of his songs in the years
to come. "Cat's Game" plays like a long lost new wave hit you never heard from
1985 and "Gina Marie" gives the Fountains of Wayne a run for their money.
Camp is currently gassing up his 62 Falcon and knocking over cultural signposts
all the way down the Pacific Coast Highway. So jump inàyouÆre riding shotgun.
And donÆt bother with roadmaps, æcuz it ainÆt about the destination û itÆs all
about the journey.
